HL-10 Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Space Intruder Detector from Gerry Anderson's UFO. I built SID from scratch. It started off with a Christmas tree bauble, and a section of the second stage from an Airfix Saturn V. The rest was plastic card & various "Greeblies" dug out of my spares box. From nose to tail (not including solar panels) it is 26cm (10") long. Thanks for looking, Angelo 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Nice build. I've never seen one attempted before. I like the stand too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karl Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 That is an excellent scratch build you have done there, the base/stand is a specially nice touch - looks great. Karl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonD Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Somewhere around I have an old Gerry Anderson fanzine with plans for scratchbuilding SID, using a table tennis ball. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what I used for this build! I "up scaled" from table tennis ball to Christmas tree bauble. They also did plans for a Moon Mobile, looks tempting! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kallisti Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Very impressive! I want to get the UNCL resin kit at some point, but then it'll be about getting round to building it... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I contacted Mr James at Timeless Hobbies and he said it is no longer available, which is why I had a go at this. 1 hour ago, GordonD said: Both models way above my skill level, alas. I thought that but they are straight forward builds, no where near as daunting as they look. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
